It is an open space which can freely be used by museum goers, as well as for the general public. The design and its construction project were carried out by the artist Mr. Yoshihiko Kawahara. The design, which matches the exterior of the museum and the rich environment of greenery around Ohori Park, and the warm materials are such as the natural wood of the camphor tree, is based on the concept of creating a relaxing space where a wide range from children to seniors can rest and relax.
